Crystals Associated with Heartbreak and Healing

Introduction

Heartbreak is the realization of our greatness. Heartbreak is one of the most trying, difficult and hurtful processes we can go through.

Heartbreak is not just an emotional state but can induce real patho-physiologic feelings of pain in the heart.

It has been said that the “most sexual organ is the brain and the organ of most intelligence is truly the heart”. We often think a lot with our hearts.

Heart Chakra Energy

When the energy of our Heart center or Chakra is in balance, we are compassionate, loving, empathetic, altruistic, peaceful, in balance and truly have love for ourselves.

When the heart is out of balance in excess conditions, we tend to express issues of co-dependency, poor boundaries with often demanding, clinging, jealous and overly sacrificing tendencies.

When the heart is out of balance in deficient conditions, we tend to become anti-social, withdrawn, critical, judgmental, intolerant of ourselves and others, lonely, isolated and depressed.

Heartbreak has a tendency to put our lives in perspective. Whether it is with the breakup of a romantic relationship or lose of a loved one, we need to take a look with an introspective eye. That is we need to take a reflective looking inward : an examination of one’s own thoughts and feelings.

Our Belief System

The strength in our heartbreak really depends on the strength of our belief systems about the relationship. Our mental attitudes and beliefs set up our perspective and expectations. This in turn dictate our relationships. With everything. With our self as human beings, with life, with our friends, family, lovers, business associates.

Our attitudes dictate our relationships with our own emotions, with our bodies, gender, and sexuality. Even with our concept of God. We determine in our minds what constitutes success or failure in any relationship.

“As long as we believe that someone else has the power to make us happy then we are setting ourselves up to be victims.”

It is important to remember that we are steering the ship. No matter what external situations can happen to you, you have the ability to take control of “how” you choose to look at this situation that has been presented to you.

“Who Am I”

You have now been given a rare opportunity to look at yourself. To observe your true self without any co dependent entities around you. Now is your chance. Who are ‘You’? I will not sit here and tell you, “It happens, get over it!” No. It is hard. As seekers of light and love, we take the human traits we formed early in life to use these traits on our journey.

The journey we seek is one of a Spiritual journey. We seek to better ourselves, to follow our dreams, to seek out our light that will take us to a higher plain. Depending on our beliefs we discover along our journey the outside influences such as people, places, things: such as money, property, and prestigeor external manifestations such as looks, talent and intelligence.

These external dependencies or often, co-dependencies can distract us and make us feel better temporarily but they cannot address the core issue – they cannot fulfill our Spiritually journey. They can give us ego-strength but not self-worth.

True self-worth comes from accessing the eternal Truth within, from remembering the state of Grace that is our True condition. The real reason we have set out on our journey in the first place.

We Need To Love

For it is Love and the lose of Love which truly allows us the greatest steps in our journey as a Spiritual being. The fact, that you yourself have loved is all that is required.

“Energy Follows Thought”

“With each beat of our heart and every breath that we take, we get a new opportunity to make a choice as to where we want to direct the energy of our lives. Every new moment offers a possibility to open a crack in the door that brings forth the power of the universe. T

he ever-present “now” is always offering new opportunities to improve our lives. As we verbalize and visualize during our prayer meditation sessions, the now is always turning the present into the past.

“Scientists have recently determined that the human brain takes an average of three seconds to process and transfer information from reality to memory, to change the present to the past. Each new moment gives us another chance to reevaluate in the light of the present, giving us an opportunity to make new choices and decisions as to what we want to do with our lives.”

Energy follows thought. Where your thoughts are directed, there is where your energy will go and manifest. Grieving losses are important because it allows us to ‘free-up’ energy that is bound to the person, object, or experience, so that we might re-invest that energy elsewhere.
